Joseph H. Paulin

Joseph Paulin serves as a Contract Specialist, playing a primary role in the agency's procurement operations. In this capacity, he is responsible for managing various acquisition processes and supporting the agency's mission through the execution of contract actions and the administration of procurement requirements. The agency's procurement landscape shows a heavy reliance on full and open competition, with a significant majority of contracts being processed without set-aside designations. While the agency maintains a presence in the small business marketplace, the current contracting patterns indicate a primary focus on large-scale or unrestricted acquisitions. The agency demonstrates a specialized approach to socioeconomic contracting, with a small percentage of awards designated for Small Business Set-Asides. There is also minimal participation in specific socioeconomic categories, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Women-Owned Small Business programs, which represent a very small fraction of the total contracting activity. The agency's procurement focus is highly concentrated within the manufacturing sector, specifically regarding defense and industrial components. A substantial majority of the agency's requirements fall under NAICS 332994, involving the manufacturing of small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories. Additional technical expertise and procurement activity extend to aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, industrial valve production, and the manufacturing of electronic components and specialized shelving or locker systems.
